4. Old Business

A. Emeritus librarians:
A. Sevetson presented documents providing information from the APM and other sources on emeritus appointments for Academic Senate and Non-Academic Senate academic appointees, highlighting
the path a dossier travels for review and appointment with some additions and corrections, and the committee's ideas for privileges for emeritus librarians. These include, or could include,
permanent library cards, ILS and email service, carrels, and access to subscription databases. One question is whether all full rank Librarian appointees are eligible for emeritus
appointments, or just those that top of the series. B. Glendenning will find out. A. Sevetson will find out
the process for receiving a Doe Library carrel assignment. After further review next month, Ex Comm will forward a recommendation to the Librarian's Office.

B. LAUC priorities -- Overwork Cluster:
B. Glendenning led a discussion of overwork factors and impacts on librarians. One significant factor is the number of administrative and operational committee assignments (including local
and statewide LAUC appointments). In addition to their routine administrative tasks in their units (sometimes not really professional librarian work), Berkeley librarians on average have 2
assignments to Librarywide committees, task forces, etc Another significant factor is the lack of campus and liblrary support and staff services, which requires librarians to attend to such
duties as dealing with copier and printer installations; trouble-shooting faulty lights, bathrooms, and elevators; and untold hours and months spent reporting and following up on these
matters. Ex Comm discussed possible roles LAUC could play to reduce the impact of non-professional librarian activites on the individual's workload. The discussion will be continued at the
next meeting, along with review of the
Education Cluster of priorities to be presented by B. Ogden.

5. New Business
B. Glendenning asked ExComm to begin a discussion relating to implementation (with and without AFT acceptance) of the added steps to the librarians' series. The discussion will continue at
future meetings. Issues include lack of consistency among a campus's annual CAPA committees as well as between campuses; the pressure the change will bring to CAPA; and the value of the
broadly written guidelines which may foster lack of consistency but also give CAPA latitude to include librarians in a wide variety of assignments.
